Three new issues are presented in them (i) A formalization
of low-level processing (ii) A new object representation (TSG-model)
for Pattern Recognition (iii) A new image processing scheme for
verification if an input image contains an object corresponding to a given TSG-model.
The peculiarity of the processing is that its part representing low-level image
processing works under full control of typical AI search interacting with the TSG-model
of object to be identified.

In other words, structural identification is reduced in the papers to AI search
that manipulates with two kinds of feasible block-operations, the one
represented by detectors (this is a formalization of low-level image
processing) and the one represented by operations with sets (union, intersection,
etc.) of image frame.

The most recent paper of this set extends the technique for the case of
possible occlusions and omission of details during detection.

Robot Navigation

The ideas developed
in the following set of papers, perhaps, are of common interest. In
particular, they are related to a challenging application: Planning via Internet
a fastest trip by means of all available timetables of all kinds of transport.

The problem of robot
navigation is represented in those papers as an extension of well known shortest
path problem on graphs. Then, an efficient resolution for this extended
problem is presented. For robotics, this approach leads to a new graph-based
representation of its environment. It gives a new point of view about robot
learning, perception, and other parts of robot architecture and suggests a new
research program for them.

The original goal was a one-step extraction of
"something one-dimensional in picture, disregarding irrelevant
details". It led to a generalization of edgel. "The
3-Frequencies Method" (3FM) was developed for that purpose in

"An Approach to Detection of Line
Elements". In Proc. of the Second Asian Conference on Computer
Vision (ACCV’95), Vol. III, pp.559-563, 5-8 December 1995, Singapore, 1995.

In the following two papers 3FM was applied to a next
step generalization of edgel, and also to extraction of "something
0D".

This set of three papers presents a simple, robust,
and precise method of 3D-pose estimation that can be used, for example, for
spacecraft docking and robotics.
